<br>
I have the following scenario:<br>
<br>
[mynicecontext]<br>
exten => 2000,1,Dial(SIP/deviceA&SIP/<wbr>deviceB&SIP/deviceC)<br>
<br>
As expected, by dialing 2000, all three devices will ring. And that's<br>
fine.<br>
However, there are situations where I only want "deviceA" and "deviceB"<br>
to ring. I would like to have an extension to dial in order to modify<br>
the dialplan.<br>
<br>
Here is what I did...<br>
<br>
In extensions.conf:<br>
<br>
------ snip -----<br>
[mynicecontext]<br>
#include "ringdevice.conf<br>
<br>
exten => 2000,1,GoTo(ringdevice,ring,1)<br>
<br>
exten => 4000,1,System(/bin/cat /etc/asterisk/twodevices.txt<br>
> /etc/asterisk/ringdevice.conf)<br>
exten => 4000,2,Wait(3)<br>
exten => 4000,3,System(/usr/sbin/<wbr>asterisk -rx "dialplan reload")<br>
exten => 4000,4,Playback(service&de-<wbr>activated)<br>
<br>
exten => 4001,1,System(/bin/cat /etc/asterisk/alldevices.txt<br>
> /etc/asterisk/ringdevice.conf)<br>
exten => 4001,2,Wait(3)<br>
exten => 4001,3,System(/usr/sbin/<wbr>asterisk -rx "dialplan reload")<br>
exten => 4001,4,Playback(service&<wbr>activated)<br>
------ end snip -----<br>
<br>
twodevices.txt contains<br>
exten => ring,1,Dial(SIP/deviceA&<wbr>SIPdeviceB)<br>
<br>
alldevices.txt contains<br>
exten => ring,1,Dial(SIP/deviceA&<wbr>SIPdeviceB&SIP/deviceC)<br>
<br>
By dialing 4000 or 4001, the dialplan is modified and reloaded<br>
accordingly.<br>
<br>
Is there a better solution?<br>
